Friulano Doc Friuli (0.75)

Friulano Doc Friuli

Production Area The vineyards are located between the municipalities of Manzano and Spessa di Cividale, on the Colli Orientali del Friuli, an area particularly suited to hillside viticulture. 

Municipalities Spessa, Cividale del Friuli - Manzano

Altitude 70-100m asl

Soil In Spessa the soil is notoriously called Ponca, a mixture of marl and sandstone that has stratified over the millennia. The alkaline nature of the soil, rich in calcium carbonate, together with the significant temperature variations, gives the wines flavor and minerality. In Manzano the soil is composed by marl and clay which contribute to the production of particularly structured and intense white wines.

Production Process Grapes are harvested and cooled to a temperature of around 10°C. After soft pressing and fermentation, vinification takes place in steel tanks for approximately 7/8 months to keep the aromas that characterize the vine intact. A small part of the mass, around 5%, is vinified in French oak tonneaux. The two wine batches are then blended to proceed with cold stabilization and filtration; bottling and packaging procedures follow. 

Organoleptic Characteristics Brilliant straw yellow with greenish tinges. On the nose delicate floral notes; on the palate it is soft, savory with a characteristic almond finishing.
